PAPERBARREL.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent ivo.614,21s, dated November 15, 1898. Application filed July 5, 1898. Serial No. 685,099. (No model.)

To all whom, it may eonccrn:

Be it known thatfI, JOHN VAN DEVELDE, a

citizen of the United States of America, and

a resident vof Cleveland, Cuyahoga county, and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Paper Barrels, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to paper barrels and it consists in the new constructionand combinations, substantially as hereinafter described, and pointed out in the claim.

I11 the accompanying drawings, Figure l is an external view, in side elevation, of my new paper barrel. Fig. 3 is .a vertical section of the same. Fig. 2 is an end view of the barrel. Figs. 4,5, and 6 are sectional views of one end of r a barrel, showing different methods of attaching the heads. and an edge view of a hoop. Fig. 8 is a side and an edge view of the head-fasteners.

A represents the body of the barrel, which is made of paper by rolling the paper on suitable rollers or mandrels designed forthe purpose, having a little greater-diameter at their middle part for making the bilge at the middle of the body. As the paper is rolled on said rollers glue or other suitable adhesive material is applied for the sticking of the layers of paper together. At the sarne time the paper is rolled wires 17 b are also rolled in between the layers of paper, the purpose of which is to give additional strength to the cylinder. The mandrel on which the paper is rolled has tapering grooves a a, formed in the surface from the ends toward themiddle, and the impression-roller which works in conj unction with the mandrel has corresponding tapering ribs, which act to impress the paper into the said grooves for the purpose of making tapering c'rimps in the cylinders and thereby reducing the diameter of the cylinder gradually from the middle for producing the bilge. The hoops D consist of flat bars of iron of the. usual kind, but are provided with barbs d, punched in them at suitable intervals, and have in one end a hole and in the other end a sharp barb B. These hoops are applied to the cylinders after they have been formed as above described by placing the the paper and clenched on the inside.

Fig. 7 is a sideends of the hoops having the holes upon the cylinder with the barbs inward toward the paper, and by the rotation of the cylinder the hoops are rolled onto the cylinder, the barbs are inserted into the paper, the end barb B entering the hole 0, when the revolution is completed, and said barb'is also forced into The body of the barrel is now completed and ready for the placing in and securing of the heads, which is done in the following manner: The heads E are also made of paper, same as the cylinders, of suitable thickness, and are formed with corrugated flanges e to fit intothe crimped or corrugated ends of the cylinders, as seeninFig. 2. The means for securing the heads in place consist of wires or flat strips of metal F, having sharpened ends or points f, as shown in Fig. 8. One method of applying these fasteners is shown in Fig. 4, which consists in forcing the points of the wires or strips into the cylinder, as seen at i, then turning said wires orstrips over the chime or ends of the cylinder and flanges of the heads. Another method is to insert the points of the wires or strips into the paper on the inside of the cylinder, as'seen at j, Fig. 5, the wires or strips having knobs or bent projections k to form stops for the heads to rest against when in place. The heads are then forced down into place, which force drives the sharp points of the fasteners into the paper.

Then, when down, the projecting ends of the wires or strips are bent inward and down over the edge of the flanges of theheads, Another and preferable method is, first, to place the fastening wires or strips on the mandrel in proper places, with points outward, at the beginning of the rolling on of the "paper, and as the mandrel revolves the paper is punctured by the points. There are provided annular grooves in the impression-roller for the points to enter as the same revolves. during the first revolution. Then as the second revolution begins the wires 1), before mentioned, are started to be rolled in.

Having described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-- This is done A paper barrel consisting of a cylindrical D, constructed and combined substantially body A, having tapering crinips or corrugaas described.
